Read MoreMade as a series of virtual experiments, Quantum Fluctuations shows the complexity and transient nature of the most fundamental aspect of reality, the quantum world, which is impossible to observe directly.
Read MoreJungks work "unborn 1-6" reads as a commentary on the Zen idea of the unborn and the physical qualities of quantum fields. The works symbolise the quantum space in which things seem similar but never the same.
Read More"The Secret Life of Quanta" by Andreas Jungk artistically interprets the quantum physical behavior of elementary particles.
Read MoreFollowing in the footsteps of these discoveries, Olaf Schirm's work "Quantom" focuses on the observer and his significance for the construction of reality. The kinetic light installation "Quantom" works with quantized wave packets that form collapsing light phenomena on a canvas.
Read MoreExtrapolating from today’s possibilities in AI and the life sciences, Artificial Affinity is a speculation on how we could aid wild species in more rapidly adapting to anthropocentric environments and vice-versa, increasing non-human animals’ chance of survival and giving their perspective a greater presence in the human world.
Read MoreIn Amanda Tasse's short film Mira, the immortal jellyfish accompanies a marine biologist in her dives and contemplations. Struggling with the cognitive consequences of temporal lobe epilepsy, the protagonist immerses herself in the undiscovered wonders of the deep sea.
